This weekend, as New Orleans braces for the impending Tropical Storm Barry, The Rolling Stones will push their Sunday night concert 24 hours to Monday night.
Funny enough, NOLA and The Stones have been dancing around one another for the last few months. The band was originally billed to play the city’s fabled Jazz & Heritage Festival on May 2, but when Jagger was required to undergo heart surgery, the show was moved to July 14.
Now, with harsh weather on the way, The Rolling Stones will once again reschedule, with their NOLA return on the books for Monday, July 15 at the 70,000+ capacity Superdome.
According to the National Weather Service, “flooding will be the main concern” with Tropical Storm Barry.
“Widespread impacts to southeastern Louisiana and southern Mississippi is expected, including flooding due to heavy rain and storm surge, strong damaging winds, also a few weak or brief tornadoes,” the agency writes.

July 12, 2019 at 9:34 pmWell hatle the $340 refund made it a lot easier. Haven’t seen The Stones since 1989 and my wife never has so it would have been cool. We go to mostly 25-50 dollar ticket shows but occasionally its fun to splurge. If you can’t afford it sorry about your sorry ass life but you don’t need to be a dick about it. Go listen to some street musicians and stiff them on tips I’m sure they will love your cheap ass.

July 12, 2019 at 10:25 pmSorry if I offended you, Greg. I assure that I don’t stiff street musicians. I was simply saying it’s hard to feel sorry for stones fans who lose money on a hotel whilst overpayimg to see one group who have been doing farewell tours since you last saw them. Peace Bro

July 12, 2019 at 4:04 pmI know, Greg. I feel so bad for stones fans in general….not. With their prices you could see 5-10 other shows, or go to festival, or 2.

July 12, 2019 at 2:41 pmI understand but that must really suck if you have a nonrefundable hotel or have to work Monday. We had tix for the original Jacksonville show but can’t go to the new date because wife is having surgery. At least ticketmaster gave us a refund. The superdome is a horrible concert (and football) venue but hey, its the Stones. Best wishes to NOLA from Pensacola Beach.
